Just a reminder that these visualizations are based on just “On the ball” events; ie shots, passes and defensive actions.

These are in testing stage at the moment, as we can tweak the smoothing variable and display things slightly differently. A greater smoothing value reduces the volatile movements of players, but also loses some of the finer movements over time.

For this viz I have “turned down” the smoothing factor a little, and also increased the time it takes for the gif to play through – this should allow for easier following of players.
